What happens when a big plan gets washed away by a prehistoric storm? In this high-energy episode of Dinosaur Stories for Kids, Dino Dad follows up on Dara the Deinonychus as she faces her biggest challenge yet: a canceled Jump-Quest.

When a tropical rainstorm turns the valley into a mud-trap, Dara has to handle those "Grumpy Clouds" in her heart. Join Dara as she learns the Shimmer-Shake (a science-based way to reset) and discovers how to be the Boss of her own Fun by building a spectacular Inner Cave adventure. From a high-stakes mud-slide rescue to the secret connection between dinosaurs and birds, this 15-minute mission is packed with action and "Little Leader" lessons.
